Tiny gem JBL Go 5 packs a big punch at its lowest price yet

Small Bluetooth speakers don't normally blast loud, bass-heavy sound, but the JBL Go 5 isn't like that. I mean, sure, it won't be the perfect choice for critical listening, but casual music lovers will absolutely love how this tiny fella sounds. Best of all, while it was released just a few months ago, it's already on sale at Amazon.

Right now, you can save 18% on all ten color options, which brings the music companion to around $45. In case you're wondering, it's never been cheaper in the past, making it even harder to pass up.

• Psst: the Bose SoundLink Max is a hot option for those seeking more output at a relatively reasonable price.

Full disclosure: due to the physical limitations, ultra-compact speakers aren't suitable for large parties. Instead, it's best suited for individual listening or when it's you with a couple of friends.

Sound-wise, the unit gives you mostly clear audio that stands out with rich vocals and a respectable thump in the lower frequencies. More importantly, thanks to the super-rich equalizer options in the companion app, you can tweak it precisely to your choice.

Just a heads up: you'll probably want to steer clear of turning up the volume to max. While it pumps up relatively loud sound for its size, the sound begins to distort once you crank it all the way up.

On the bright side, JBL has added some improvements to the design and durability. The Go 5 is the first model of the Go series to feature built-in lights, boasting two small light strips to give it a bit  more visual flair, while the IP68 rating adds better protection against water and dust damage.

Ultimately, the JBL Go 5 is a fantastic choice for users seeking a truly compact, grab-and-go music companion. Get yours at 18% off on Amazon and save big while the promo lasts.
